Chapter 112
"Steve Jobs was once considered the most charismatic CEO. Chicago Tribune reporter Menendez wrote in the report, "As long as he is on the stage, you will not find the press conference boring, he can use the most simple and concise language and demonstration, tell people what are the characteristics of the product in his hand, and let you listen to it with relish, he is like a star." β
"And now, there is one more star. The article below the cover image is accompanied by a standing ovation at MacWorld2007, at the end of the Jmap presentation.
The angle of the photo is at the back of the auditorium at the press conference, the space that extends from the lens is shrouded in dim light, the figures of the people standing up and clapping their hands are hazy, and the only light is on the stage at the end of the seat, Ahn Junhyuk's smile is frozen in applause.
"He has the same eloquence, humor, and humor as Steve Jobs, and he can make you laugh with a joke, or he can make you sigh in surprise with a sentence, and when he demos Jmap, it's like you're watching a glamorous show, and your mouth will make uncontrollable sounds with his words, and when it's over, you'll be surprised to realize that you've stood up and given him your applause. β
"It's incredible that he's not yet 21 years old, he's not an Old.man, but standing on that stage, his charisma doesn't lose to anyone, even Jobs!"
The New York Daily News supported the claim that the iPhone could not be popular, but the newspaper also said that the launch was a great success. It makes the iPhone "less ugly" and even quite appealing.
"When Steve Jobs swipes to unlock and scroll the screen, users who want that sense of operation will fall in love with it. Even though we all know that the era of his propaganda is still far away, but under his speech, the temptation of 'intelligence' is too strong for you to resist......
"MacWorld2007 did introduce a new product. This product is another charismatic leader. After the conference, it may not be surprising that there will be another idol in the CEO's circle!"
The New York Daily News was right, the day the press conference ended. As soon as news materials began to spread to the Internet. and spread out. I don't know how many Apple fans have fallen in love with Ahn Joon-hyuk, who demoed Jmap.
"It's so unexpected, when he (Ahn Joon-hyuk) first came on stage, I also complained that it interfered with my performance of Joe's gang leader. But as soon as he spoke, my attention was drawn to it, and oh my God, I always thought there was only one Jobs in all CEOs!" said a user named Kate, a community of Apple enthusiasts!
"After the video of the press conference, I found the video of the Facebook press conference he hosted, and I liked him so much, what he said, the flat glasses he wore, and the gestures he used to doing...... Everything!" Allison changed her blog profile picture to Ahn Joon-hyuk's appearance.
"Very charismatic guy, I heard that he is a star in his country, although I can't read the text there, but I thought, maybe I can know a little more. β
Communities of Apple enthusiasts, blogs, many, many places, including search engines, Ahn Joon-hyuk's name is rapidly expanding in the data flow of the American Internet and spreading beyond the United States.
The first place to spread is South Korea.
In the past, portals such as Daum and Naver opened "text live broadcast rooms" just because Ahn Jun-hyuk was an artist in his own country, but he became a guest at Apple's press conference with CEOs such as Yahoo and Google, and there were topics that could be hyped and attracted attention. They never imagined that Ahn Joon-hyuk would give a speech at the press conference, let alone that his speech and the products he displayed would cause such a sensation!
"Ahn Joon-hyuk speaks at MacWorld and makes a shocking declaration: iPhone and Jmap will change the world!" β Daum
"Ahn Jun-hyuk, chairman of J.H. Co., Ltd., announced the 'information revolution' at MacWorld 2007 yesterday, and his speech caused heated discussions in the American media, and the headlines of major newspapers and magazines in the United States such as "USA Today", "Wall Street Journal", and "New York Times"βNaver
Ahn Jun-hyuk, the artist, CEO, fully demonstrated the charm of the idol school and was named the most charismatic CEO by the American media. βββNate
Soon after, TV stations also joined in, and KBS, MBC, and SBS all captured the video of Ahn Joon-hyuk's speech and broadcast it on the news.
Overnight, it became clear that the once "Ahn Joon-hyuk" three-word rule journalism seemed to have reappeared, and this time on a larger scale than the last time.
Ordinary people don't know about it, but the media knows very well that the "information revolution" mentioned by Ahn Joon-hyuk is worth all their efforts and is crazy to chase for it. Because this time it is not limited to two local companies in South Korea like the JS war, and it is not like Facebook's full openness, which mainly affects the US IT industry.
This time, Ahn Joon-hyuk is standing on the shoulders of Apple, which has 100 million product users, to announce his "revolution" to the world, and this concept will have a global impact, whether it is sought after by supporters or ridiculed by opponents, the harvest is huge.
What's more, Ahn Junhyuk's performance has won him a lot of praise in the media.
Japan is not far behind, as early as the 20th of last month, Sony Pictures launched the promotional plan for "Wang Nan", Ahn Junhyuk suddenly went to the United States, which is almost equivalent to a unilateral breach of the contract in disguise, Sony Pictures is extremely dissatisfied, but after the release video of MacWorld and the news channel of TV Asahi in Japan, these dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared.
A few days ago, Apple announced their new product iPhone at the MacWorld2007 conference, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that the iPhone will redefine mobile phones...... Halfway through the conference. Jobs temporarily handed over the presentation to his partner, Ahn Joon-hyuk from South Korea. "On TV, the beautiful news host couldn't hide his surprise, "It is understood that Ahn Junhyuk is the founder and chairman of the Korean entertainment group J.H Co., Ltd., and also serves as the CEO of the American social networking site Facebook, but his other identity surprised us - he is also an artist, at present, Ahn Junhyuk starring in the movie "The King's Man" is being screened in Tokyo, Osaka and other theaters in Japan......"
What better way to get the word out?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
This is also because of the distance in Asia, and the language barrier. Resulting in some lag in information. In the United States, Ahn Jun-hyuk's fame is growing with media reports and online spreads.
This is not the first time he has taken the stage in the United States, having announced the full opening of Facebook a few months ago. Jmap was launched last month. He has made public statements. But Facebook is too small, and Apple's influence is far greater than that.
On the third day after MacWorld, Ahn Jun Hyuk received many interview invitations from newspapers and magazines. One of them was Time, and some newspapers wanted him to elaborate on whether Jmap's features were actually implemented. Some newspapers and periodicals focused their attention on the information revolution caused by the breakthrough in the way of interaction that he emphasized. These are the things that the media and the audience are most concerned about at the moment.
But on the other hand, many entertainment magazines have also sent him invitations, the most representative of which is "Vanity Fair"!
When he received the invitations for interviews with Time and Vanity Fair, Ahn Jun-hyuk was on business in his Facebook office, and Zuckerberg happened to be lazy here, holding a newspaper and reading with a fluttering eyebrow:
ββ¦β¦ Apple should be glad that it has Jobs, and it should be glad that Jobs put Ahn Junhyuk on the stage, at least they have an Old.man and a Young.man, saving the iPhone's failed image before it was launched, so that it still remains attractive to users and the industry. They need to be thankful that because of the performance of Steve Jobs and Ahn Jun-hyuk, the major rating agencies have not adjusted Apple's credit rating, and they don't have to worry about losing 10% or 20% of their market value?
"Facebook's board of directors should also thank Ahn Joon-hyuk, and after his eloquent speech, I believe that Facebook, which owns 30% of Jmap, will immediately become the darling of Wall Street if it announces its sixth round of funding now!"
"Listen, Ann, you're a star now, buddy!" Zuckerberg, sitting across the desk, waved a newspaper and looked extremely excited: "Ann, Ann, my brother, I love you so much!"
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was browsing a document, shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words: "I don't love you." β
"Shit! You know what I mean. Zuckerberg rolled his eyes, but quickly came up excitedly, straightened his face, and said, "I think what they said makes sense, Ann, I really want to thank you, really!"
Glancing at him, Ahn Jun-hyuk understood what he meant.
Not to mention the somewhat flattering praise, there are some words in the newspaper that are still not exaggerated, such as the repercussions caused by Jmap in MacWorld. Now, apart from a few people who oppose for the sake of opposition, even the most critical analysts, no one dares to say that Jmap is a big toy, a failure of Ahn Joon-hyuk and Facebook's eagerness to expand their business.
I don't know how many people are amazed by its function and prospects, especially the road information that was not taken seriously, when it was first launched, the media called it chicken ribs, because it did not work, after all, users of Facebook and Jmap can only be located at home, or limited, in public facilities covered by wireless broadband.
It's not like a perfect map, where users can collect information, record it, and then go home and upload it to Jmap to correct the map, after all, roads, buildings, or terrain are always there, and they can't change all of a sudden. On the contrary, traffic information is valuable in the "real-time" attribute, without which it is completely useless - no one will be interested in the traffic jam half an hour ago, and on the other hand, the user who travels will not receive feedback on the road condition!
Until Ahn Joon-hyuk opened it on his iPhone.
There are many smart people in this world, and the difference is just whether you think of it.
Before the iPhone comes out. No one thinks that the "delicate" capacitive screen can be used in mobile phones, and no one thinks of using glass panes as touch carriers, they think that a screen that will fail in a humid environment, or in an environment that is too hot and too cold, is simply impossible to apply to electronic products.
Without this prerequisite, people's attention has to shift to the so-called "diversification" development, flip covers, slide covers, folding keyboards, etc., etc., all in order to make the screen bigger and the keyboard smaller, people have long known the importance of a large screen to mobile phones. They just didn't think about what to do with this big screen.
The iPhone appeared. Ahn Joon-hyuk also demonstrated how people could not think of a mini "computer" with a large screen that they could carry around. What kind of power will Jmap use?
Let's not mention whether the iPhone can become a trend. At least the direction of Jmap is already in the eyes of people β combined with mobile devices. It will become a weapon in people's lives!
For a fledgling product, such a prospect is enough for investors to rush to, even though the ownership of Jmap is divided into three parts. Owned by Apple, Facebook, and J.H Networks, Apple, which is well-funded, is unlikely to let anyone else take a stake in Jmap, and J.H Networks is a private company that cannot interfere, but Facebook is clearly an excellent breakthrough.
Unlike Apple, Facebook is in the development period, and it is a time when there is a shortage of funds, whether it is ready to seek one-third of the ownership of Jmap, or simply hold shares and wait for appreciation, Facebook is a very good choice.
Zuckerberg is excited about this, in the past few months, after Facebook has fully opened, the number of users has increased rapidly, and the scale of the server is also expanding rapidly, each additional group of servers is a large amount of expenditure (including purchase and daily hosting) The money in the fifth round of financing is about to be insufficient, and last month's financial calculations, it is expected that the funds obtained from the fifth round of financing will be consumed in the third quarter.
After all, the current six-member board of directors are all shareholders, and each financing represents the dilution of shares and the transfer of power.
Zuckerberg's original intention was to hope that major shareholders such as Ahn Junhyuk and Bryer would increase their holdings, and the sixth round of financing would wait for users to exceed 100 million before releasing news to private equity funds. Unfortunately, this proposal is not acceptable even to Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is allied with him, and it involves the valuation of Facebook.
If the valuation is low, Zuckerberg will not agree, it will dilute the equity in his hands, but if the valuation is high, Ahn Junhyuk and others will not agree - for example, if the valuation is set at $3 billion, and several major shareholders jointly invest 50 million, each party can only get less than 1%, which has no meaning for the proportion of equity they hold.
The bigger the development of the company, the less attractive the shares will be to the shareholders, why should we raise funds publicly? It is because the increased shares are not proportional to the efforts of the old shareholders, and at this time, we can only attract new people to enter the market.
But now, with the advent of Jmap, this problem has been solved.
Through media publicity and imagination, the current value of Jmap is probably equivalent to 20 million users, and if Facebook announces the launch of the sixth round of financing at this time, I am afraid it will really attract the entire Wall Street as the newspaper said!
In fact, Ahn Joon-hyuk noticed this as early as when he conceived Jmap, and the reason why he didn't bring it up was because he had other ideas.
Thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was not going to ask this question, pondered for a moment and said, "Mark, don't rush to launch the sixth round of financing for the time being. β
Zuckerberg, who was excited, was stunned when he heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he was puzzled: "What is it for?"
Ahn Jun-hyuk was about to explain, when the phone on his desk rang suddenly: "President, Mr. Anderson is here." β
Anderson is Facebook's press officer and official spokesperson, responsible for external public relations and publicity, because of the influence of Jmap, now Facebook is at its peak when the limelight is at its peak, and there are often media requests for interviews.
Zuckerberg glanced at the phone, frowning brows. smiled: "It seems that you are going to be busy again, I will go first, hehe, I just said casually about the financing, since you don't think you are in a hurry, then forget it!"
With that, he got up and left.
Looking at his back and disappearing outside the door, Ahn Junhyuk's lips twitched a few times, and he didn't say anything, but his eyes suddenly deepened.
β¦β¦ Such a scene. It should be said that I have foreseen it for a long time......
There was a moment of silence. He sighed secretly, two people, after all, it is impossible to be in step with each other forever!
People have to grow after all, half a year ago. Zuckerberg was overjoyed with his arrival. Because he was there to support him. Because Ahn Jun-hyuk and Mark Zuckerberg have the same "philosophy" - not to allow Facebook to fall into the hands of outsiders.
But half a year has passed, and the joy and gratitude have faded under the erosion of time, and the actual management is underway. The incompatible side of each other's "ideas" was gradually exposed.
Although these are all minor issues, such as some disputes caused by different points of view, how many contradictions in this world have not accumulated little by little? How many wars have started out only because of small differences?
Zuckerberg thinks that it is right, Ahn Jun-hyuk does not agree with it, and he must oppose it, even if he is persuaded in the end, a little mustard will be buried.
In half a year, I don't know how many times this happened, even if Ahn Joon-hyuk took precautions and tried to deepen his personal relationship with Zuckerberg, but the chicks will eventually learn to fly, and the child will eventually grow into an adult.
Zuckerberg, who once didn't understand anything, has learned a lot of things, and his will is becoming independent, just as everyone will have a physical adolescence during the period from adolescence to adulthood, and everyone also has a psychological adolescence.
At this stage, what he learns will be combined with his outlook on the world and life to form his own ambitions, and he will be eager to display these things, to be independent, to be recognized, and as long as he has a little self-confidence, no one will rationally examine his flaws at this stage, admit his mistakes, and accept the reminders of others.
What's more, Zuckerberg, who has grown up, may finally have sensed a sense of crisis!
Ahn Jun-hyuk thinks that during his administration in the past six months, Facebook's prospects are becoming more and more ambitious, and the name "Ahn Jun-hyuk" has created a lot of brilliance for Facebook, except that it has not yet found a reliable profit model, the number of users, market size, and business value...... Under his leadership, Facebook has grown rapidly and is running in the brightest direction.
He is getting more and more popular with shareholders, especially after this Jmap, and if it continues to ...... Just imagine if Ahn Joon-hyuk's reputation suddenly had to restructure the company's administrative structure, or even reorganize the board of directors, and replace all the existing management, what would happen to Zuckerberg if he lost his partner who had been inseparable since the start-up stage?
There are so many examples of this in Silicon Valley!
